Thinking Mode
Thinking mode lets you choose between fast responses for everyday questions and deeper analysis for complex compliance work. You'll find the mode selector in your chat input area, between the file upload button and send button.
Available Modes
Fast — Optimized for routine questions and quick replies. Best for straightforward queries about controls, definitions, or standard procedures. Available to all users.
Think — Provides more capable responses for intricate ISMS problems requiring deeper analysis. Ideal for complex gap assessments, multi-framework mappings, or nuanced risk scenarios. Requires a premium subscription (Plus, Standard, Pro, or Business plan).
How to Switch Modes
Click the mode selector dropdown in the chat input. Select "Fast" or "Think" before sending your message. Your selection saves automatically and persists across sessions—you don't need to choose every time.
If you're on a free plan, selecting "Think" will prompt you to upgrade. Your mode won't change until you complete the upgrade.
When to Use Each Mode
Use Fast for:
Quick control lookups ("What does ISO 27001 A.8.1 require?")
Policy template requests
Definitions and straightforward guidance
Use Think for:
Comprehensive gap analyses across uploaded documents
Complex risk assessments with multiple scenarios
Cross-framework compliance mappings (e.g., ISO 27001 + SOC 2 + GDPR)
Detailed audit preparation requiring nuanced interpretation
Switch modes anytime based on your current task. The selector works in both new chats and existing conversation threads.
